That's some fabulous tuneage there. REM, Talking Heads, Jane's Addicition, Pixies...oh, yeah. (I used to have a 4x5 poster of "Nothing's Shocking" on my dorm wall way back in college.) And "Rites of Passage" is easily the IG's best album. I've been partial to "Ghost," and I think their version of "Romeo & Juliet" outdoes the Dire Straits' original by a mile (something quite rare with remakes).
Yeah, the IG's did a wonderful job covering "Romeo & Juliet". I was haunted by the "Ghost" song for years. That album got me through some hard times. If I ever were to make a soundtrack for my life, these are the albums I would draw from.
I also really love the Grateful Dead but I'm not really crazy about any of their studio albums, just their live stuff.
